    Inguinal hernia is a bulge of tissue through the inguinal canal in the groin. It is more common in men, and can occur in up to a quarter of all men. Symptoms can occur gradually or suddenly. It may present as burning, gurgling or achy pain. Pain will be located at the site of the hernia and will be increased with valsalva pressure (coughing, lifting, or straining). A bulge will be palpable when the patient is standing and may disappear while lying down. During the exam, the physician should palpate into the inguinal canal while having the patient cough for bear down. If no mass is palpated, another diagnosis, such as a sports hernia, osteitis pubis, or adductor tendinopathy, should be investigated. Imaging (ultrasound, MRI) is rarely needed, but may help in discovering causes other than hernia. Female patients may also have a palpable mass, but diagnostic testing or a surgical referral may be needed to determine if a hernia is present. 
    Small, minimally painful hernias can just be followed.  Patients need to be educated on symptoms of strangulation and incarceration. If the hernia is large and painful, referral for open repair is recommended. Post op rest should range from 10 days to month, depending on activity level

  9. I actually was told otherwise, that the herpes can not be treated and that there is no way to make it go away once you have it. But I decided to do my own research and found out it is possible to fight it.. I got a lot of information about it here in forums and online,I got Dr Oduku contact on a group were a man from Cordova was sharing his testimony of how he cured him of herpes so I decided to give him a try I emailed him through odukuherbalremedies@gmail.com. he called me to know if I actually wanted the cured after which the cure was sent to me few days later I was surprised when the same doctor who told me that I was diagnosed of herpes told me that I was completely free from herpes you can reach him through his email odukuherbalremedies@gmail.com. or through his WhatsApp +2349064430408 if you are diagnosed and also wanna be free from this deadly virus because he is really gonna be of great help to you!!
